Weird that there was setver maintenance yesterday and I had pretty bad lag in my games today with the game freezing for around 1 second frequently. No input delay though.

. Airborne weapon Drops are vastly overrated. If you take reinforcement cost for initial crewing into account you get close to the normal price.

You forget that airborne weapon drops can be crewed by Pathfinders for extra vision. On open maps like Crossing for example that´s insanely good.

Excuse me?

Elite Armor is bad in 2v2+, I dont play 1v1.

IMO USF "free" officers is a unique concept that sets USF apart from other factions so this should probably stay. Same goes for the ambulance and the tank crews.

What has to be changed is that the air dropped weapons need to start costing more MP so spamming them isn´t as easy.

The Paratrooper + Pak Howi combo is still too good and gives USF too much of a power increase in early game.

I would also like to see regular Pathfinders starting on a cooldown like IR Pathfinders.

I dont understand why the 50cal needs to be as good as it is either. It´s a bit like if OKW got the Ost HMG42. 50cal should honestly be more of a Maxim than a competitor of best COH2 HMG.

M20 needs to get toned down slighty, it got buffed while being made cheaper which is never a good combo. It´s a bit weird that the 223 costs as much as the M20 while being WAY worse in combat.

Riflemen are not even nearly as bad as people claim, apart from the first 5-10 minutes against OKW they are really good infantry with snare and cheap grenade access. Vet 3 double bar riflemen eat Axis mainline infantry for breakfast, not sure why people chose to ignore that. I would consider them pretty well balanced overall, same as Volks.

USF was pretty bad before they got reworked especially when facing OKW but in my opinion USF got way too many buffs over the course of the last patches.

They always used to have good units but were handicapped by bad teching paths and synergy. The USF tech revamp solved this issue but on top of that they got so many other buffs that were not neccessary. It was just a bit too much.

Why do they need to have some of the best support weapons: .50cal, 57mm AT-gun, Pak Howi while at the same time having the best heal that can also be used to recinforce outside of base, 3 different types of OP T0 call-in infantry, free squads when teching, tank crews, the straight up best TD in the entire game, a excellent medium tank that wipes infantry like crazy, cheap access to grenades, cheap access to weapon upgrades etc.

Playing vs USF feels a bit stupid at the moment, especially Pathfidner doctrines with cheap weapon drops makes it seem like USF got endless amounts of units/MP.
